38 4.1 Configuring Serial Ports To configure a serial port you must first set the Common Settings (C\ hapter 4.1.1) that are to be used for the data connection to that port (e.g. baud rate) and the mode the port is to operate in. \ Each port can be set to support one of six operating modes: i. Disabled Mode is the default, the serial port is inactive ii. Console Server Mode (Chapter 4.1.2) enables general access to the serial console port on \ serially attached devices iii. Device Mode (Chapter 4.1.3)...
